Rwanda Film Permit
Rwanda visas and film permits are authorised by the Ministry of Sports and Culture. This is a fairly easy process, it only requires a lot of paperwork and could be time-consuming – which is something that we do for you to make this process as painless as possible.
The application of film visas and permits is done by filling out the Rwanda Film Permit Authorization Request. Again, we will undertake this process on your behalf to make this as seamless as possible. Film Fixers have established strong relations with the necessary parties, and we have developed the know-how to navigate and approach any difficulties.
Each member of the crew is required to have a Media Accreditation, which is applied for through a formal letter with details of the crew (passports etc) and details on all equipment.
The process can take between 15-30 days, or even up to 3 months depending on the scope of the shoot.
Flying a drone is legal in Rwanda, so long as the necessary paperwork is in place. Drones must be registered through Rwana’s Civil Aviation (CAA) through a local sponsor. Registration can take up to 3 months.
